when i was a teacher, dave bought me a beautiful fossil watch that i adored. shortly after i received it, the watch quit working and the date was always a few days behind. we sent it out to have repaired, but it was returned still broken. the company gave us the run around and i was ultimately left with a beautiful, pricey, broken watch that i couldn't wear. i was devastated and i haven't worn a watch since, though i love wearing one. so when JORD Watches contacted me at the end of summer to try out their fall line, i absolutely accepted.

JORD watches are unique because their made of wood. in fact, they offer 8 various kinds of wood to choose from. i've always been drawn to darker woods; that's what we chose for the floors in our home and most of our furniture. and when choosing a favorite between gold or silver, gold wins, always. so when it came time to select which watch i wanted, the ebony + gold from the frankie series was a no-brainer.

my favorite part about my watch is the ease of putting the watch on and taking it off. unlike most watches, where you have to loop, tighten and fasten through a hole, JORD watches are made to fit your wrist perfectly and has a latch that snaps together. when you want to take it off, you push the sides together and it loosens enough for you to slide it off. i absolutely love this feature! especially now that i'm a mama. it makes getting ready easier and since putting on the watch is so effortless, it gives me more motivation to accessorize (something i don't do often anymore).

JORD watches are beautiful, unique and come in a variety of colors. they also have watches for both men and women. they truly have something for every style, taste and preference. and with the holiday season quickly approaching, i can't help but recommend snatching up one of these for your loved one (or yourself!).
